So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Postwar attempts to rebuild American downtowns for the convenience of suburban drivers fail because cities cannot compete with the suburbs on ease of driving and parking; and attempting to do so destroys the vibrant street life that makes cities worth living in or visiting in the first place.
If your downtown still has many wide and fast one-way streets, then your priority is to move cars as fast as possible thru a weak downtown. It’s NOT to create a vibrant downtown, help downtown retailers, keep people safe, support walkability and accessibility, reduce pollution, etc. #TrafficSewers

We’re experiencing the national equivalent to how assault victims sometimes look at what’s happening to them and think “this kind of feels like the things you hear about happening to other people“ – unable to bridge that gap between stories and reality

A suspicious lack of beer stores in one Minneapolis neighborhood raises troubling questions, forcing simple six-pack runs to become odysseys.

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest
Monday’s mass shooting may put concerns over gun violence back on voters’ minds, and have already lead some to scrutinize Mr. Mamdani for his views on policing. “He clearly does not understand what public safety is all about,” said Cuomo w/ @emmagf.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...

A liberal Minnesota politician was murdered along with her husband and another was shot along with his wife by a right wing anti-abortion psycho and I haven’t seen 1/100th the coverage that Luigi, a man with severely muddled politics, received for shooting a healthcare executive

when you think about it, the sheer amount of misinformation, defunding, stigma, and general bullshit people throw at bikes is a pretty good testament to what a powerful tool they are to change the world, and how deeply they could threaten our most toxic power structures if we let them.

Originally opened in 1927 as a luxury residential hotel, Lee Plaza will be transformed into 117 affordable housing units for seniors. A second phase is planned to add up to 65 market rate residential units on the building’s top five floors. The building has been vacant since 1997.

Imagine if we could do something like this with like measles, exposing people to a little bit of the disease so that their body figures out how to build immunity to it.
Scientists have created a broadly effective antivenom using the blood of a Wisconsin man who has spent years exposing himself to deadly snakebites from black mambas, taipans, cobras and many others.
He let snakes bite him some 200 times to create a better snakebite antivenom

This angle has been grossly underreported. Salah arranged for Frey to meet with state officials, using talking points prepared by FOF ring leader Aimee Bock. There was a full-court press to allege racism against the Walz administration to force the fraudulent payments to continue. Frey fell for it.
A former senior Frey aide - and my former colleague - Abdi Salah, will plead guilty today in the Feeding our Future fiasco. Salah was scheduled for trial next week in the second FOF trial, but a guilty plea will save Mayor Frey from the embarrassment of testifying against his former staffer.
